A tumblr post in two parts: the first post reads: writing is so fun. The second post reads: writing is impossible why does anyone do this.

Oh tumblr, I can always count on you for wisdom

A nine image moodboard depicting an image of bridges from the show Arcane, a boy's eye, a person's earring, a watch, a crossed pair of hands, three guns, a beautiful staircase, a wounded hand getting wrapped, and a quote "let go of the illusion that it could have been any different"

#DVparty day 6: Next project!

Groundhog Day meets ARCANE

In a wealth-divided city on the edge of revolution, trans thief Gene must discover the root of a magical time loop trapping him in the day of his best friend’s murder.

We are the same person (same taste in music) and I love this for us

A playlist board showing four songs: Meet Me in the Woods by Lord Huron, Human by Of Monsters and Men, silent stranger by Against the Current, and Control by Halsey

Day 5 of #DVparty : Playlist!

Lord Huron - Meet Me in the Woods
Of Monsters and Men - Human
Against the Current - silent stranger
Halsey - Control

A green man sitting at a table saying "aw hey Owen, we thought you were dead"

Day 4 of #DVparty : meme time! For my YA horror, this one just fit perfectly.

When you vanish in the woods for eleven months, people tend to think you're dead 😅😅

#YA #H

I'm sat! I love this story, you know that 😍😍😍

#DVparty Day 3: Opening lines!

The blood isn't mine.

Or maybe it is. I can't remember. As I run through the trees, panting and covered in crimson, there's so many things I don't want to remember, but that isn't among them. How can I not know whose blood this is? Is it mine?

Or his?

#DVparty Day 2!! Meet Owen (he/him), a trans boy who might not be entirely human anymore after he killed a monster 🤫🤫

Happens to the best of us right 😅😅

Art by me! #YA #H

Nine image moodboard depicting: a deer skull among leaves, a boy looking at the viewer, brown boots in autumn leaves, a boy wearing a letterman's jacket, kids on bleachers, a boy in front of a dark house, a wolf's maw, kids passing notes in class, and a Taylor Swift lyric: "you've got your demons and darling, they all look like me"

Might as well start the #DVparty !! Here's my moodboard for my very trans, very gay YA horror novel!

🎶you've got your demons and darling they all look like me🎶

came across the creator of nyan cat on my tumblr feed and I feel like I just walked past Jesus in a hot topic

Character development is going from loving drafting to loving revision

the people need to know!! 😂😂

A nine-image moodboard of a deer skull, a boy with his face blurred out, a wolf's maw, an ao3 note saying "this is gay", a boy being beckoned into the trees, a raven, hands digging into the dirt, two hands making a pinkie promise, and feet hanging over a ledge.

I promise there are better books

Anyway please listen to trans people and maybe don't read books that promote a truly dangerous terf, however tangentially

Time Loop wip is so cathartic. Like these characters are fighting capitalism with the power of love and also incredible violence.

The love was there. The love changed everything. The gun helped also.
